Most of what we can see in that picture is clothes, appropriately donated in the collection bins.

What often happens next is that some other person(s) comes along and pulls all the clothes out of the bin and takes what they want, leaving a pile of stuff behind that looks like it’s been “dumped” carelessly. Whether the loot is on-sold or for personal use depends on who’s doing it.

Today at the O’Connor shops the small number of bins there resemble the picture above. Clothes donated in good faith are strewn in front of the bins, having been picked through and left in a pile.
